The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
account_status ~35
Get the current account status: plan (free | pro), credit balance, monthly quota usage, and number of captures currently in flight.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
batch ~805
Submit up to 500 URLs (Pro: 5000) in a single atomic request. Each job gets its own token. Quota is deducted atomically; partial batches never happen.

Jobs are private by default (retrieve via the download URL from get_status); pass cdn=true (batch-level or per job) for permanent public CDN URLs. Add a callback_url to receive each result as it completes instead of polling.
